Lin Chen foresaw that a catastrophic hailstorm would hit within 48 hours and immediately offered 15 yuan per catty to rush-harvest the whole village's Shine Muscat grapes. Misled by middleman Wang Hai's empty promise of 25 yuan per catty, Village Chief Liu Dafu and the villagers adamantly drove Lin Chen away. Soon after, a devastating hailstorm struck, smashing and rotting all 300 mu of grapes. Wang Hai instantly went back on his word and refused to buy them, leaving the entire village saddled with massive agricultural loans and nowhere to turn. When the villagers bowed their heads and begged Lin Chen to buy the crop, he offered only a salvaged-fruit price of 2 yuan per catty and took the opportunity to sign a ten-year exclusive farming contract. Lin Chen then processed the damaged grapes into fruit wine, raking in tens of millions and taking complete control of the local fresh fruit industry.
